The Preble House.

For some time past the Preble House has
been undergoing extensive alterations
These are now concluded and the result is
one of the most attractive houses in the
country. The location of the Preble, shell
tered by those glorious old elms, on the prin-
cpal avenue of the city, was always a strong
card in its favor, and now it seems as il
nothing more could be done to please fastid-
ious travellers.
Under the plans of Messrs. Fassett &
Tompson, the old foundation of the Preble
mansion has been entirely removed and iron
columns and plate glass substituted. The
result is full story basement looking upon
an area front, broad flights of stone steps
leading down to the entrance. The front of
this basement has been devoted to the bar
Der shop, and the rear to the porter's and
baggage rooms, and as perfect and thorough
a system of bath rooms and water conye-
niences as can be found in any hotel in New
England. The ventilation and sewerage
cannot be improved.
A broad fight of stairs leads to the Office
floor, the head of the stairs facing the dining
room. The old barber shop has been thrown
into the dining room, or rather connected
with it by an arched arcade and beautifully
frescoed, the rooms now seating two hum
dred guests. The office has been enlarged,
elegantly finished in cherry, and handsome
ly furnished and provided with new key
rack of the latest pattern. The old cloak
room has been abolished and forms a hall
way for the bell boys quarters, while very
large cloak room has been fitted up adjoining
the Office and dining room. In the Office and
parlors large open fireplaces have been built
which give brightness and cheeriness to the
house in wet, cold weather, and both office
and basement have been entirely new tiled.
OH Of the ladies' corridor a small, pretty
room has been fitted up which can be used
for private Office, or reception ROOM
The chandeliers of cut glass, with their
glass pendants, add greatly to the general
beauty of the decorations.
In the second story ths ladies' toilet rooms
have been remodeled land made to compare
favorably with those in the basement, while
like rooms have been placed in the third and
fourth stories. Fifty new sets of costly fur
niture and 1900 yards of new carpeting have
been placed in the house.
The spacious bay windows on the front of
the house, with their canopied tops add
greatly to the general effect of the exterior,
in the place Of the old balcony which has
been removed
Mr.. Gibson is to be congratulated on his
fine surroundings, and we are glad to know
that he is receiving his full share of the sum-
mer business.

A Lively Runaway,

Last evening team belonging to McCobb
e. Lord was left standing in front of Centen-
NAL Block on Exchange street. A young
man was standing by the horse to hold him
but he couldn't do it. The animal started
and dragged his guardian as far as the Post
Office. Then clearing himself from the hold
uponlthe bride, the horse dashed down Ex-
change street., He kept the sidewalk as far
as Middle street, nearly running over lady
who lodged into doorway. Below Middle
street kerosene oil can was thrown out of
the wagon and its contents spilled along the
pavement In turning into Moulton street
the wagon struck the telegraph pole on the
corner of Fore street with great force and
was somewhat damaged. The horse was
then captured before further harm was done.
There was no apparent reason for the horses
fright. The animal was said to be saddle
horse not accustomed to harness.

Phiilips by Mr.. I. L. Page, proprietor of the
Elmwood Hotel Articles of more or less
value had been missed from several guests
rooms, and complaints were so numerous
Mr.. Page took prompt and vigorous meas

guilty person made full restitution, and Mr..

publicity. He proposes to protect his guests
to the fullest extent, and hopes to have no
more trouble In future.

ROYAL EmbIems.

To the Editor Of the Press:
1t was customary in Colonial times to at
tach names to streets and buildings having
royal or aristocratic significance. Thus inns
were called the Kings Arms or Queens Ho-
tel, and streets were likewise named. How
far was this custom followed in Portland ?
There was King and Queen street, but
were any other streets or places named in
this manner, and were arms or heraldic de-
wees used as signs or decorations anywhere
in the city. Perhaps some antiquarian can
tell? RosToN
